A short bus ride from the city centre you are picked up from the hotel and shortly find yourself looking out the window at rice fields, farm lands, little towns and villages, a quick rest stop grab a coffee and see some woven silk art and gemstones then you back on the bus for about 45min to Ninh Binh, get on the boat for Halong Bay by land and be amazed as you go thru limestone caves towering peaks and amazing scenery, stop of at Kong island where they have left part of the set there from the movie.... Simply a fantastic way to spend in north of hanoi

Highly Recommended. We had a great time on this activities packed adventure to Ninh Binh. Only 2 hours from central Hanoi, the magical area of Ninh Binh could easily be in another world. Called the Halong Bay on land the endless limestone formations capture your imagination above ground while another beautiful unspoiled world exists underground in caves and chambers visited by peaceful rowing boats. We enjoyed the vistas and the temples visits and bike riding along village paths and trails, stopping to say hi to smiling local folks and watching the wildlife. Afterwards we were welcomed at the newly built and comfortable bungalows and relaxed before enjoying a delicious BBQ dinner and “happy hour” drinks. All of the meals provided were generous and gave us an opportunity to try many tasty local dishes. We didn’t use the beautiful swimming pool on this trip but gee it looked inviting! Being only 2 hours there and returning the following day, this is a great trip for anyone seeking a different, quality, event rich experience outside of Hanoi, while on a limited time schedule. Loved every minute and totally recommend this experience.

Just finished 4 days Ninh binh - Halong trip with this company. We had one day visit Trang An, Mua cave and 3 days in Legacy cruise finished in Hanoi.
We were picked up in Ninh binh on time and everything was perfect. Food was tasty (and plenty), tour guide is friendly and knowledgeable. We had rain in morning but tour guide managed to visit a temple until it stopped to make us enjoy the boat trip (we love this flexibility).
The cruise in Halong is 3 star and the routine was interesting to visit Lanha bay (we like it as Halong very crowded).
